The New Team in Town

Written by Ada Stone

Narrated by Amy Maples

Freshly arrived in the little town of Gold Creek, all Claire really wants is to find her place here—a place where she can live happily, as the woman she is, without everyone judging her for being trans. The last thing she expected was to join the local women’s football team, the Broncos, but it’s hard to say no to a chance to make a new group of friends… and star player Annie is one friend who Claire hopes might become more.

Annie has lived her whole life in Gold Creek, and she’s ready for the big leagues. Her team has a shot at the championship this year, but when a last-minute offer from the coach of the men’s football league lures her away from the Broncos, Annie’s only solace is the hope that she’s finally getting her due. When things don’t turn out the way Annie planned, is it too late to go back to the Broncos? Or can she rejoin her old teammates — and her former lover — and help them win the championship game?

Reviews for The New Team in Town

[Natale Michaud · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The sound was very low. I had to switch phones, as I have one with stereo sound. While it was still low, at least I could hear it.

The audio was so quiet I couldn't actually listen to it. I was excited for this book, but no luck on any device. I even tried a variety of speakers.

Ada Stone, in my opinion, is not a good writer.
